Somebody give you a dirty look? Give somebody else a smile.
Somebody cut you off in traffic? Let somebody else skip you in line at the store.
Somebody sent you a hateful message? Send somebody else a loving one.
In a world where “more of the same” can make things so much worse—choose to do modern day alchemy instead.
And become an alchemist of human emotion.
Be generous with your thoughts.
When those who express kind, constructive, supportive thoughts are quiet, then our collective mind is taken over by those who spew overwhelming amounts of the opposite.
We may only be one, but we are connected to ten.
And so are they.
Every interaction is an opportunity:
I hope you’ll fully capitalize on the bountiful opportunities of your day.
Unless you understand every single aspect of another person’s life, stop judging.
Instead, take that judgmental energy and turn it towards yourself.
Get your own thoughts, actions, and intentions perfectly aligned before you bicker, demean, and tear down others.
What you say to me about others says a lot about what you say about me to others.
The people who burn bridges to light their way are the same people who complain that they don’t have enough bridges to cross.
We were born needing care and we'll die needing care. But, let's not forget that what happens in between shouldn't be no care. For not needing care doesn't mean care is not needed. When more people who care show up living feels infinitely less unfair.
